Isa Roelink

Combining dream and science, myth and reality, history and current affairs, ancient stories and modern pop culture, collective memory and forgotten lessons. I push and pull my own world and the fictional one together. Retelling ancient stories through modern devices. Showcasing that their relevance is undying and an endless source of inspiration.

I am simultaneously an extreme activist and intentionally inattentive. I believe that through beauty you create an accessibility to discuss complex topics. And through storytelling, you create space to have sympathy for one another. One work could be about a perfect world by which you can daydream away. Another work will respond to the seemingly indestructible patriarchal society and how you struggle through it as a human. Both are important parts of life and both are relevant.
